Turkey Trot done. Kid beat me by a minute. I was tempted to trip her but too many witnesses.

5 miles with the kid who’s back from college for thanksgiving break. Tried to drop her but failed as usual 🤷♂️

Took Tylenol before this. Could not handle another day without running. TBD If that’s a bad idea or not but it worked 🤷♂️

Just a knee test. I’ll give it a C. Little pain on downhills but otherwise fine. I’ll test it again tomorrow, maybe treadmill 😕. Felt great to move for sure.

Still shaking off the cold and feeling the effects of my newly bruised knee. Just need to accept that this will be a low mileage week and move on 🤷♂️

First run since Sunday due to a cold and got a bonus whip out in the middle of it! Nobody said it would be easy, but it’s worth it.

Saw every dog breed, lots of fat squirrels, a ferret on a leash but no aggressive owls. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing 🤷♂️

6 miles on a treadmill and at no time did I want to off myself. I’d call that a win!

First run that started in daylight and ended in darkness of the fall. Gotta do what you gotta do for the miles.

Long run done 🥵. Really happy with that last few weeks. Feeling good and productive. Goal for the rest of the day is to be really unproductive!

Decided to move the long run to tomorrow so finally ran a route in town that I had been scared to do because of the big early hills. I ran on effort and it was amazing even with all the wind and rain. Top 10 all time run. Fitness is really something. Happy Saturday!

Me every afternoon. Just change into running clothes, doesn’t matter if you even go… Just head out to the end of the block and you can turn right back if you are not feeling it…. Just cruise down this easy downhill…..

Garmin recommended a rest day for me today 🤨. After this one I’m guessing tomorrows recommendation will be to put my affairs in order ☠️

Took a half day at work and messed up my pre-long run rest day 😞. I just couldn’t sit on the couch any longer with all these bouncy shoes ready to roll.
